Bureau of Consular Affairs issuance crossword clue

56 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 20, 2026 · 6 letters

Answer
USVISA
USVISA (6 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Bureau of Consular Affairs issuance” is USVISA. It appears as 56 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 20, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Look Both Ways” by Gary Larson, and it fills 6 squares running left to right from row 12, column 10 of the 15×15 grid.

The clue is a straightforward definition, so the answer is a direct synonym or a factual match for the words as written. The entry begins with U and ends with A, and contains 3 vowels and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
